One of the classics on sax. I had never heard of this song until an old British guy came up to me on a cruise ship and asked me to play it.
He was amazed that I had never heard of it. But I really grew to love this song.
The story goes that the main riff of the song was supposed to be recorded on guitar,
but the guitarist didn't show up, so they recorded on saxophone instead.
This was filmed at Ritmo y Sabor restaurant. About 300 yards away is the beach.
This is an instrumental version, but I will post the lyrics anyways.
Lyrics:
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home
